SYDNEY: Cricket Australia named seasoned sports administrator Todd Greenberg as its new chief executive on Tuesday, replacing Nick Hockley after a sometimes tumultuous five-year stint.
Greenberg was most recently the boss of the Australian Cricketers’ Association, representing players in negotiations with the national governing body.
He is also a former chief executive of Australia’s National Rugby League.
“Thanks to the work of the current administration the game has strong fundamentals in place,” Greenberg said in a Cricket Australia statement.
“I want to ensure we build on this momentum so Australian cricket continues to thrive—from local parks to the nation’s biggest stadiums.”
His predecessor Hockley announced his resignation in August after five tricky years in the top role. He became tangled in a bruising dispute with a major Australian TV network over cricket broadcast rights.
The Englishman was also criticised over his handling of star player David Warner’s bid to overturn a leadership ban.
